Col. J. C. stabling's statements as to the first silo are as follows: Thai In February 1880 he inspected the silo, feeding of ensilage and tho stock fed 'rom the silo of Charle'a K. Harriso; i ' Plckcnaville, Md., and at the Soot ii (Jan Una state fair et 1880 he made a statement before members cf the state agricultural and mechanical society that thlB new method of preserving stock feed waa a success. This statement induced this society to offer a premium of ?if ty dollars, for the best sample of m silage at the 1881 fair, ir as many as four of the members would pledge to build a silo and make this the con teat, whereupon Col. II. F. Crayton of Anderson, W. A. Clark of Colum bia, Alexander McBeo of Orcenville and J. C. St rib! ing cf Pendleton an nounced they.would build sites. This contest resulted In J. C. Strlr.Uug winning the $50 prize ut the State fair in 1881, because of the fact that the silo of W. A. Clark was not f-n lalted at this time. The other contestants did not .mild silos. All entries for this ensilage pre mium at the 1881 fslr were to be ac companied with* a description < f, vile methods of cultivation, kinds of erop, filling, etc. Thia schedule as above was duly flied with the secretary of the society by J. e. Strlbllng before the fair of 1881, and below will ho fou.i l a ropy of sana which was published by the commissioner of agriculture, A. P. Butler the next year. 1882 The following is taken from the third annnual report of th? commis sioner ot agriculture of "ho . tat'.! of South Ca/olina for the year 188:.'. K ns I luge lu South Carolina. "The following letter, written for our report by Mr. J. C. Strlbllng ot Pendleton. South Carolina, a success ful stock breeder and raiser, is con clusive proof of the advantages of en silage in our State. It was published in The Anderson Intelligencer, October 20, 1881. "The subject of ensilage and silos having so frequently been before the people of late,, we should not wonder at -he non-interested getting rathor tired out of hearing the extravagant dalma of the enthusiastic advocates and the condemnation of some theor ist and sclent lil st concerning lt; but as this new process is a complete de parture from the old method ot sav ing forage, and one that is destined to re v(.i ut ionize the matter of forage and stock feeding, etc.. we think there is yet plenty of room for ex periments 'and all should be Inter ested In hearing statements of the plain facts as they appear to those using ensilage.

Of neither of these do 1 ma?? any com plaint. Boto are essentials to the smooth running of the great train of progress that i.< now making forward with such speed in our land. Thc theorist and the scientist are thc great head light? that throw out c. i-.trong light far ahead of us and en able us to search and see things in tile dark future, while the doubting Thomases are the -air brakes that do great service on the train of progress by keeping us from going too fast and running off the truck. The chem ist hus been and i? yet a great help to the funner ; but when he tells us that sun dried and weather-beaten bay or foruge contains thc ?ame con stituents excepting the water that 'he green plants do, and that he bajes bis urguments against ensilage upon this knowledge, tbe farmer can read ily eeo that he too needs practice as all know that stock do better on green crans than they do on dried hay, to say nothhlng of spoiled hay. Another case of error in the chemist is thut mineral water from the. na tural springs have a different effect upon the human titan that made by the chemist ?f precisely the samo composition. "Our experience with ensilage sc fur has been very satisfont ry. One eau calculate on salting all the for age he grows absolutely without risk of the weather. In feeding ensilage all tho forage lg eaten up clean with little or no waste, while if cured in the ordinary way (and if the farmer gets his crop without losing one-third ot it by bad weather he think.; he is lucky) fully one-half of '(. is trampled under foot und wastdd when fed whole. "Another greet advaatuge ip feed ing ensilage is that it 1B in a very convenient condition for feeding. It being moist, dry meal or bran can be stirred in and mixed with thc moist forage and ult, meal and forage is eaten together in just the desired pro portions. The meal is raised and re masticated with the forage, which en sures good digestion of the meal. If the dry meal, or meal in slops, ls fed with dry long forage cf any kind, lt will be observed that the meal or slop is devoured first, ant*, not being mixed with the forage, (which holds it in the first stomach,) the meal or slop passe i through the first stom ach, and consequently not half as slmilated. The close observer will find the meal fed to the cow in the lung apparently not half digested. This makes' it plain that fully one half the meal and slops fed cowa in the ordinary way is a total loss, while if mixed with moist short cut forage it enables the cow to ruminate the a -il or grain along with the forage and derive its full benefit. I find tho method of ensilaging forage 1 properly (inducted, to bo an abso lutely sure ?lan of saving all kinds of forage; it is also very much cheap er and Is upon the whole very pleas? ant work to all hands. I have this fall put down some pea vines whole without cutting, (and have cut and mixed pea >llnes and corn fodder to gether; r'.-.o put some corn fodder cut flue to. itself) and seme pea vines cut tine and put in tho pit separately. When all this is fed out we will be able to.decide upon thc best mode of mixing, etc. At present it appears That the pea vine ls the most desirable plant to ensilage on account o' its being the first place more nutritious feed; secondly, the pea enriches the land instead ot impoverishing lt as corn fodder. We are to have a sample of each, pea vice and corn fodder, on exhibition at our State fair, -.'Mch will give the public the benefit of our experiment sfor ensilage, for thia year' crop was grown on thin up land, -every alternate row in peas, and rows two feet wide on a five-acre lot, and was ploughed on 3rd of July, and harvested on 17th and 18th of September.
